Racism by country
Thanks for offering your feedback through the Request for Comment on Racism by country. WilyD 17:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the link - to be honest, I'm not an active editor in the "Iran" section of Racism by country - I just got drawn into an edit conflict with User:Pejman47 who kept blanking the section. The section I proposed is very well referenced and very well written with respect to policies and guidelines - if I have to fight it out with editors over a proposed section, I really want a section that cannot be faulted whatsoever with respect to guidelines and policies, you know?  The admin who locked the page User:Khoikhoi has offered to run an informal mediation - I'll probably invite everyone who's offered an opinion - and the same for the formal mediation and arbitration, assuming it goes to that. Anyways, I was just saying thanks because RfCs don't usually generate much feedback, and I think it's important to encourage people who do give feedback through them. WilyD 17:49, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
 * With the very small amount of actual "edit warring" that's gone on (it's probably not even ten edits) I don't think there's much that can be done except to move up the dispute resolution ladder step by step. So even though some of these steps may be unlikely to result in a solution, I still think it's best if I go through the motions.  I agree that it's unlikely (though not impossible) that at some point the opposing editors will realise their objections are rediculous and let it go, especially given that the proposed section is not particularly critical of Iran.

 * Thanks, and I will invite anyone who's commented to participate in the next step whenever it begins. Don't worry about me being frustrated - I can outstubborn anyone when I'm right.  The only thing that really gets to me on Wikipedia is admins who abuse their admin powers - and I'm probably an experienced enough editor now I could even deal with that.  Thanks for participating, anyhow. WilyD 18:29, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I have tried to put up a notability tag on the Nasser Pourpirar article and have explained my reasons in the talk page. However, it keeps getting reverted by one user who has not yet contributed to the discussion on the talk page. Could you advise?--الأهواز &#124; Hamid &#124; Ahwaz 19:22, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I would advise you to stop edit-warring with him. I would also advise you to remove (or at least provide a translation for) those footnotes that are not in English. This is, after all, the English Wikipedia. --  tariq abjotu  19:26, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree, but I did not put those references in the article. If it were my choice, they would not be there. If I were to delete them, it could prompt further edit warring - or, at least, complete reversions. There are no sources in the English language that meet WP:V in relation to the subject of the article.--الأهواز &#124; Hamid &#124; Ahwaz 19:29, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
 * If you want the article deleted, go to WP:AfD. --  tariq abjotu  19:39, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
